CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION To accomplish the varied missions and goals of the Department across the cyber domain and its intersections with other domains, the DoD established a cyber workforce that encompasses a diverse group of personnel with varying skillsets. The Department’s ability to understand the current state of the workforce is critical in planning for the future to allocate resources and apply solutions that transform the workforce of today into the force of the future. Building upon recent cyber and human capital strategy implementation efforts, the Department has started to reshape its workforce. Specifically, the Department has: • Created a governance structure through policy to provide a standard for the management of the workforce across multiple functional communities. • Implemented new authorities for the workforce to provide flexibility in the management and maturity of current and future workforce members. • Implemented a framework to communicate across the total force and bridge the communication gap between administrative and operational functions. • Developed an analytic capability to enable an understanding of the cyber workforce at macro and granular levels. However, implementation of these efforts is in the initial stages. The Department must continue to mature and measure these initiatives to advance the agility and capability of the cyber workforce across the DoD enterprise, at the component level and within individual commands. 9
